Dear Janet and family, 

      My sincere condolences on the recent passsing to Eternal Life of your dear Mom (grandmom, great grandmom).  My last visit with her last August at the 'camp' with my sister-in-law, Mary Pottie, was very pleasant.  I've always enjoyed chatting with her over the years.  She will   be greatly missed by all your family, to be sure.  May you be consoled by her many years with you and all she gave to you and all her family and friends. 
    May she know the peace and joy of Eternal Life with God and all the saints.

Your Mom, Aunt Joanie will be missed by all that knew her. She was one of the kindest persons that I have known. I have lots of find memories of her. Will never forget the candy apples and Blueberry grunt. I think it was my last visit there that she insisted on making that famous Blueberry dessert. 

Sending love and condolences to all.

I am so sorry to hear about Joan. My sincere condolences to Joan and Puddy's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Joan was a wonderful, loving person and she will be greatly missed. Walter Webber, Chester, NS

Joanie always made me feel loved and welcomed to the family. Her baking and chatter filled both the Halifax home and camp with warmth. I know her family was very important to Joanie and am so glad she lived to see her great-grandchildren. This is such a hard time for you, who loved Joanie dearly, but take strength from all the fond memories you have together.

Janet 

Sending my condolences on the passing of your mom . Sounds like she  was blessed with a beautiful life . May she RIP

It was our joy to know and love Joanie. We have fond memories of Joanie, Puddy and family when they became our neigbours in Ottawa, very happy times.
Our prayers , love and sympathy to Janet, Diane and Bob with the unexpected passing of Joan.

Dear Janet, Diane and Bobby,
As you know our mothers were friends for nearly 70 years. They first met when my mother (then Carmita Robinson) boarded at Nanny Anderson's home in Halifax (1952, maybe?) . A few years ago Joanie told me the story of Carmita returning to Halifax after a weekend away (would have been either in Bridgewater or Kentville) wearing a diamond ring and Joanie said she was jealous because she was sure she was going to get "her diamond" that weekend  but she didn't. I think your parents became engaged in the next couple of weeks though and both couples married in 1953. Bobby and I were both born in 1954. This photo shows our 2 families in 1955 with Nanny Anderson. Joanie was a faithful friend to Carmita right to the end and she was especially important in my mother's life through my father's illness, providing moral and practical support. She even looked after 2 yr old Kelly during my father's funeral. Another story Joanie told me that day was of my father's return to Halifax from New York after his epic sight-restoring surgery - Joanie and Puddy went to the airport and hid behind a pillar and witnessed my parents' reunion. They had gone in case Carmita was  too emotional to drive home.  What a friendship❤️ and hearing these stories was such a gift to me at a time when my mother was no longer able to verbalize.

Dear Janet and family,
Remember her and smile she lives on in you all.
My girls remember her candy apples on Halloween. She was a loved member of the community and will be missed💕 God bless you all, her love and faith will give you peace .

Dear DD and Brian

So sorry to read of your loss.  I life well lived - lots of love and laughter - my sympathy on your great loss.

Joni's love of life and love of her family was so large that it even extended to love for her family's friends. As one of those family friends, I was always amazed at Joni's ability to be up-to-date and remember all the goings-on of me and my family. She had a memory,  curiosity and kindness that was extended and felt by so many of us. We cherish our fond memories of Joni (and Puddy) and the love and generosity they extended so willingly. God speed 🙏 Cindy,  Mark,  Emma, Oliver,  and Sophie

Family
Doug and I want to express our sincere condolences over Joanie's passing.   She was a kind, caring and wonderful lady who we loved dearly.
We can remember the many times when she would call to tell us how many deer were on her lawn, and was so excited that they would come up to her and eat from her hand, "even a banana!" she would exclaim..  
We have so many fond memories of Joanie, and are going to miss her so much at  "camp" in the summer; camp will never be the same without you there our dear cousin.  We will always love you.
Carol & Doug

I am so happy that Joanie was able to hold every one of her great-grandchildren. I know that brought her tremendous joy. She was one of the women who influenced me into going into the nursing profession. Always kind and loving towards us “Jollimore’s “ in NH, I knew there was a lively time coming when Joanie, Puddy, Mom and Dad would get together! I loved camp and the lobster feasts there and the feeling of warmth and home away from home. May God bless you all with cherished memories that will comfort you in this time of loss. 🙏❤️

I got to know "Granny" through my wife Joanna (one of her granddaughters). She was always so kind and welcoming to me, while keeping her strong wit and sense of humor. One of my last memories with her was one of my fondest. Granny wasn't able to travel to our wedding in June '23, so Joanna and I planned a trip to come see her and introduce her great-grandson (Bode) who she hadn't had a chance to meet live yet. Granny had so much fun with him and he did her. She was adamant on picking him and carrying him around, even though he was a big baby (around 27lbs at the time). Her strength was on full display as was her love and joy. Further showcasing her strength and humor, we held a Lobster feast at Camp and Granny taught Bode's nanny (on the trip with us) how to crack Lobsters with your bare hands and also feed them to her. It was quite a site as granny was showing everyone the ropes. 
She will be sorely missed, but she left a last impression on everyone she meet and Joanna & I were so happy that she got to meet Bode before her passing.

Dear Janet and family.   Our sincere condolences to you and your family. Your mom was a loving and sweet kind lady. Every time I met her, she was generous. Going over to your mom and dad’s house on several occasions, she always made sure she served tea, cookies, and lots of goodies Ed and Audrey had many great and wonderful memories with your parents. They are both now in heaven. God bless you and all your family. May all your memories be fond and warm of your mom. Susan Calder.

Dear Janie & Family,
      Lorraine and I are deeply saddened to learn of Joanie's passing.
Suffice to say our lives were intertwined over many years.  Your parents and I grew up in the south end, later we were Bridgeview neighbours, we were involved in sporting events and so on.
We always felt so comfortable around her !

Dennis & Lorraine

What wonderful memories of one of the most kind women I ever knew your family opened up the camp to us. My children all got to see their ancestral home and Joanie was the ultimate hostess. I loved seeing the four of them dad Mom, Puddy, and Joanie talking out there on the porch at the camp she Will be missed. I hope she’s sitting with Puddy mom and dad now on a nice porch.

I was so saddened to read of Joanie's passing.  She was a part of my life since I was a kid living across the street on Elm St.  She was a gem.   
 I loved her.  As adults, we often sat together in church in Hubbards, since we both had cottages down that way.  Of course, 93 is a grand age,  so you, her family,  were fortunate to have her in your life for all those years.  She will be missed.
Sincerely,
Pat (Ryan) Berrigan

Janet; so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She certainly lived a long, wonderful life. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Hi, Janet,  So sorry to hear that your mother passed.  We so enjoyed her here at Cameron Hall.  She had a lot of friends and she was so nice to us all.  She had such a lovely sense of humour and was so kind.  Thinking of you, Shari Landry

Dear Janet, Julianne, Christina and family,
We were sorry to learn of your dear mother’s passing. May your many treasured memories bring you comfort. 
With sincere sympathy,
Meg, Darrell, Emily, Tyler, Cara and Neil
